What's in the drum?

Posted by: DIL on 23 August 2006

Why is it that many news articles concerning nuclear power (misuse or not) in Iran seem to show white coat clad technicians gathered around large metal drums; of the 'storing things in' kind?

What is in the drums? If it was something radioactive, then surely the white clad technicians would be suffering from the effects of radiation befor too long. Do they keep the 'bomb' (That they don't have) in it? A bit obvious, but I suppose a field with 10,000 identical drums in it would give the UN inspecters a run for their money.

So, what's in the drum?

Answers on a post card, etc. etc.

Drums of "secret sauce"...

Probably just Thousand Island dressing and a bit of catsup/mayo.

It's liquified shit from the outflow of the local camp site. The guy in the white coat has lost his watch in there and is sending the other guys in to get it out. Simple really.
